The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 847
Yvonne stared at Felicia with wide, terrified eyes.
"The guests haven't left yet," Felicia continued smoothly. "Do you really intend to make everyone wait for nothing? Holden went through a lot of trouble to make this a massive spectacle. If the groom doesn't show up and the bride goes missing, how exactly are you going to explain this to his family?"
Yvonne turned ghostly pale. She knew exactly what Felicia was trying to do. Desperate, she looked over at Darin, who simply stood there in complete silence, allowing Felicia to do as she pleased. He remained utterly indifferent to Yvonne's pleading gaze.
Max's expression was just as detached. Even though Felicia had just ripped open their ugly past and publicly humiliated him, he didn't even flinch.
Jeremy stepped forward, his voice like ice. "Mrs. Curtis, I suggest you take Andrea back upstairs."
Felicia had already guessed why Holden was a no-show today. That was exactly why she had clearly told Darin earlier that she fully expected to see Holden at the event. Now, facing her biological mother, Felicia maintained a serene exterior. But the agonizing betrayal tearing at her heart was something only she could truly comprehend. For anyone, it would be an unbearable, soul-crushing pain.
Allen marched over to Darin. "Darin, please let my sister leave."
"Allen, stay out of this," Darin replied, his voice laced with heavy exhaustion but leaving absolutely no room for argument.
Allen turned his gaze back to Felicia. Piecing together her earlier conversation with Andrea, he realized that this woman had to be Max's ex-wife. The Curtis family had partnered with Roen Capital before, and he had seen her at banquets. The rumors had painted Max's wife as a hideous, unbearable woman who had eventually left. He came to his own conclusion that she had been ruthlessly forced out.
Now that she was back, she was clearly out for blood. The fact that Darin was actively helping her while their own mother stood by, completely paralyzed and unable to defend Andrea, made Allen pause. He looked closer at Felicia and noticed the unmistakable similarities between her features and his mother's. A wave of realization washed over him, followed by a profound sense of absurdity.
Yvonne swayed on her feet, the room spinning around her. A maid quickly rushed forward to steady her. With shaking hands, she dialed Hank's number.
Downstairs, Felicia walked into the grand banquet hall and took a seat, acting like just another guest waiting for the festivities to begin. She silently drank glass after glass of red wine.
Darin and Max stood a short distance away while Jeremy sat right beside her. None of them said a word as they watched her steadily empty her glass.
Eventually, Jeremy reached out and gently blocked her hand. "Not so much."
Felicia wordlessly set the glass down. Several guests spotted the group and considered walking over to network, but they quickly sensed the suffocating, hostile aura radiating from them. Taking one look at their dark, unapproachable expressions, the wise ones turned around and promptly walked away.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
